Unlike the BBC, Channel 4 did not allow votes for people who were not alive atthe time of the pall. They also excluded people wio were in prison or awaiting tal Many ofthe people in thelist of 100 Greatest Britons are there because of significant achievements in the world of science, music, literature and exploration. Many of those inthe 100 Worst Britons list are there precisely because, in the opinion ofthe voters, they haven't achieved anything. ‘worthwhile but are nonetheless inthe public eye. Number ‘Ain the list, Jade Goody, became famous for appearing in the reality TV show, ig Brother. And although the Reality TV show Pop Idol has been a huge hit in the UK, it provides the lst with no fewer than seven people, including judges, presenters and former contestants. And judging by the lst, the British public has a particular dislike for TV presenters and politicians. Most interesting are the people who appear in both the 100 Greatest ist and the 100 Worst lst. These are controversial figures who have large numbers of supporters but who are also detested by large numbers of people. Two former Prime Ministers fll into this category: Tony Blair and ‘Margaret Thatcher. Two singers also appear on both lists: Cliff Richard, who first became a pop star in the 1950s and is stil performing, and Robbie Williams, who has millions of fans worldwide but whose personality many people Find arrogant. The reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, appears as number 10 on the list of greatest Britons and umber 24 on thelist of worst Britons. This might bea reflection of the public's attitude to the monarchy as an institution, rather than the personality of the Queen herself. Entrepreneur and adventurer Richard Branson is on both lists, to0, Many people admire his energy and achievernents, building successful companies in the fields of air travel, ‘music, publishing, mobile phones and even space tourism. However, many people also dislike his public image and his frequent publicity stunts. Infact, looking at the list as a whole, being inthe public eye too much seems to be the main cause of disapproval Although he is a hero for many young footballers, number 91 ‘on the list of 100 Worst Britons is David Beckham ~ and his wife, Victoria, is number 13.

Violet Jessop experienced it three times! She did not go looking for danger, but reading the story of her life, it sometimes seems that danger came looking for her. Violet was born in Argentina, the first of six children born to Trish emigrants William and Katherine Jessop. Her father was a sheep farmer: As a child, Violet became very ill with tubereulosis, and: her doctor told her parents that she would die within ‘The death of her father led the family to return to Britain, where her mother needed to work to provide an income. She found a job as a stewardess for the Royal Mail Line, a shipping company, while Violet and her brothers and sisters went to live at a convent school. When her mother had to stop work because of poor health, Violet gave up school to became a stewardess herself. ? Violet didn’t want to work for White Star because their ships sailed across the North Atlantic and often encountered bad weather. Nevertheless, Violet became a stewardess for the White Star Line working 17 hours a day for less than £8 a month. She was serving on board the Olympic when it collided with HMS Hawke in 1911. Violet was quite happy working on the Olympic and didn’t really want to join the Titanic, another ship owned by the same company. However, her friends persuacied her that working on the largest passenger ship in the world would be a wonderful experience Violet Jessop’s own account of the Titanic’s maiden voyage talks about a translated Hebrew prayer that an old Lrish woman had given her. The prayer was supposed to protect her against fire and water. Violet, who was a devout Catholic, read the prayer as she relaxed in her cabin only hours before the Titanic sank. ¢ ordered to go on deck. As water poured into the ship and it began to sink, she helped a group of women into a lifeboat, and after eight hours in the boat, Violet and the others were reseued by another ship. About 1500 other passengers were not so lucky: they died in the tragedy. Immediately, she was When the Great War broke out in 1914, Violet served as a nurse with the British Red Cross on board 4 ship called the Britannic. As a medical ship, the Britannic was safe from enemy attack because of an international agreement. However, towards the end of 1916, the ship collided with a mine in the ‘Aegean Sea 5___ At the time of the collision, Violet herself was on deck and was thrown over the side of the ship into the sea by the force of the explosion. © ‘She was picked up out of the water and taken to safety. Years later, a doctor told her that she hhad actually fractured her skull in the accident. Despite these three separate incidents, Violet Jessop continued to work at sea for another $4 years.
